I Am Fascinated By Human Behavior

Do men have a bigger sense of entitlement than women do? It seems that way. For one men get away with bad behavior a lot easier than women do. They're bigger and throw their wt. around a lot easier to have things their way when they get mad and throw a fit. For another boys are a lot more likely to be spoiled as kids than girls are. A therapist told me one time it's testosterone that makes men expect to have everything their way. Although women are certainly catching up in the sense of entitlement dept. I see grown women whine, throw tantrum, and act like brats all the time. The difference is women don't get away with it as easily so their sense of entitlement isn't quite as catered to.

A couple of things. First, I don't think there is a gender difference when it comes to a sense of entitlement. I actually don't see that in most people. Second, I think there is a gender difference when it comes to acceptable behavior. Males are expected to show anger, and aggressiveness (Tantrums); however, women are generally frowned on when they show these "male" behaviors. So it seems to me that when women show "bad male behavior" they are less likely to get there way.

@Greymatter1001 love your answer! Yes very true. Men have their tantrums catered to more often. Although more and more I do see women throw tantrums and get catered to. An angry man is seen as strong. Angry women are seen as brats or shrews.

@Cloud7593 Exactly, but if the women cries or acts sad, she will probably get what she wants. If I guys does that he is a wimp, and no chance in hell he is getting his way.

Sometimes that is true. I do see young boys cry and have their way more than girls do, especially from their mothers.
I am an omly child being raised by a single mom. She is making sure I don't abuse my privilege.
I don't think I am spoiled. I don't want a bunch of stuff and I am helpful and i get along really well with my mom. She is in charge but she isn't mean and I know she is in charge and I don't question that.

Sounds like you're a good kid.
@Cloud7593 I don't know. I feel like a regular kid. Mom says perception is everything though.

Not all men are like that. I think it mostly depends on the individual, not just gender.
Cloud7593 · 46-50, F
@ChiRho Of course all men are not like that. Unfortunately a sense of entitlement has become the American way.

Men have more aggressive personalities on average and perhaps that contributes to it.
